Amazon has Bluetti portable power stations for sale

‘Tis spring shower season, and sometimes that means your power (and a/c!) goes out. If you don’t have a backup plan for outages, we especially love the Bluetti Portable Power Station. This little box will give you enough juice to power your phone, laptop and more, and you can recharge the station itself with an optional solar panel. Even long-term breaks will feel like a setback with just one of these on your side. With the coupon on the page, you can snag it for $200 (down from $300).

Why is it a good deal? 💰

With the coupon on the page, Amazon has reduced the price of this excellent powerhouse by an incredible $100. This means that if the power goes out, you won’t have to worry about making important calls, or watching the battery slowly drain on your laptop. And you can even power a mini-fridge so your favorites don’t spoil. (Because the power always seems to go out after food shopping.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

The Bluetti Power Station is equipped with a 600W inverter as well as a 268Wh battery pack. The station has a total of nine outlets, which is great for a number of reasons – but mainly because it can charge more than one device, and one type of a device, once. The whole family can benefit if the power goes out.

And yet, despite all its functionality, it is not too serious. The Bluetti weighs just over ten pounds but is only 10 x 7.1 x 7.2 inches, which is more than small enough to be tucked away in the back of a vehicle or closet until needed. It is ideal for use in emergency situations, or just for a little extra power on camping trips; after all, who says you have to be completely disconnected from your phone to enjoy nature?

According to Bluetti, this power station can keep a mini fridge going for three hours, recharge a phone twenty times or keep you warm with an electric blanket for just under two hours. It also recharges to 80% in just half an hour when you need power quickly. And its power supply is uninterrupted, making it a great choice for use with computers.

What critics say 💬

Whether you need backup power for storm outages or you like camping fully charged, over 3,000 shoppers are behind this.

Benefits 👍

“I’m glad I ordered this when I did, because it provided much-needed power during Hurricane Ian’s outages,” shared a rave reviewer. “It charged quickly using the mains power adapter when I first unboxed the unit (and was already about 60% charged) and provided plenty of power to charge phones when the power out.”

“I have to say I’m very impressed with this little beast,” said one user. “I needed something for camping and to be able to use my CPAP if I use the DC cigarette lighter outlet plug. I can get through a whole night for eight hours using my CPAP and still about 20% battery left and charging iPhone and Apple Watch as well.”

“This is probably the most versatile power bank you’ll ever own. I even set it up to run the TV, DirecTV DVR, two lamps and the Wi-Fi router for over four hours. It’s handy when you need to run 120vac. battery charger too far from the house current, without breaking out the generator,” said another five-star fan.

This shopper said, “The fast charge is AMAZING! It gets a little loud from the fan but who cares, all the other brand units take 6+ hours to charge, this one is about an hour the clock! In the event of a power outage that is a game-changer.

Disadvantages 👎

Some users aren’t wild about the accompanying app. “The app is kinda needed to reach the full potential of the device,” said one, “which has its pros and cons. It might be annoying for some users.”

“How you interact with it without the app can be confusing if you’re dumb like me,” admitted this four-star reviewer. “The app allows you to change certain settings, and while it’s nice, I wish there was more to configure within the app, such as setting a charge limit, or maybe how long you want the screen on configure the power station. That being said, the app is nice to have.”
